| 1913 | jaeger | 1 | tinypy is a minimalist implementation of python in 64k of code |
| 2 | |||
| 3 | "batteries not included (yet)" |
||
| 4 | "lua for people who like python" |
||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | what tinypy is: |
||
| 7 | * parser and bytecode compiler written in tinypy |
||
| 8 | * fully bootstrapped |
||
| 9 | * luaesque virtual machine with garbage collection written in C |
||
| 10 | it's "stackless" sans any "stackless" features |
||
| 11 | * cross-platform :) it runs under windows / linux / macosx |
||
| 12 | * a fairly decent subset of python |
||
| 13 | o classes and single inheritance |
||
| 14 | o functions with variable or keyword arguments |
||
| 15 | o strings, lists, dicts, numbers |
||
| 16 | o modules, list comprehensions |
||
| 17 | o exceptions with full traceback |
||
| 18 | o some builtins |
||
| 19 | - an easy C-API for building modules |
||
| 20 | - 64k of code (for at least some definition of 64k) |
||
| 21 | - interesting, educational, nifty, and useful |
||
| 22 | - well tested |
||
| 23 | - easy to read, maintain, and use |
||
| 24 | - fun fun fun!!! |
||
| 25 | - you can static compile it and its modules (MIT license, so "it's all good!") |
||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | what tinypy will be: |
||
| 28 | - sandboxed |
||
| 29 | - a Cpython module (setup.py install) |
||
| 30 | - including some batteries (math, random, re, marshal, pygame?!) |
||
| 31 | - Visual Studio compatible |
||
| 32 | - documented |
||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | what tinypy might be: |
||
| 35 | - as fast as python (maybe faster?) |
||
| 36 | - including a JIT module |
||
| 37 | - C89 compatible |
||
| 38 | - C++ compatible (like lua) |
||
| 39 | - a shed-skin module |
||
| 40 | - including a dynamic loading module |
||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | what tinypy won't be: |
||
| 43 | - a full implementation of python |
||
| 44 | - totally compatible with python |
||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | alternatives to tinypy: |
||
| 47 | - lua |
||
| 48 | - shed-skin |
||
| 49 | - pymite |
||
| 50 | - pyvm |
||
| 51 | - cython |
||
| 52 | - pypy |
||
| 53 | - jython |
||
| 54 | - ironpython |
||
| 55 | - python |
